Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers calls for special session on gun legislation
Gov. Tony Evers is urging lawmakers to convene in special session to take up two gun safety measures he and Democrats are pushing.
The special session call Monday comes after Evers has pledged to convene one for weeks on legislation he said would curb gun violence in the state: a so-called "red flag" bill and another that would implement stricter background checks.
Evers in his Milwaukee announcement said he has urged the Legislature to "pass commonsense gun safety reform" since he took office in January, but he noted Republicans have failed to act.
